I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

Oh good. Another thing to debate about! ;D

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I only missed being on the list by a little bit. . .  I've never fished the river so I didn't make the "at least 2 events in the last 5 years."  That is the only thing keeping me off the list!  LOL!!!

Recognize many names on it though... Mark sure knows the river doesn't he!!??!!
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

Ok, I will start... ;D...Steve Clapper in 31st place...You have got to be kidding me.....Guy wins a quarter of a million dollars in a premier event and he is in 31st????

I know there are people not on, or not high on the list that are more deadly more often. They just don't fish the kinds of tournaments being counted as much. Do they have a Lake Erie ranking? I didn't look. If they include all of Lake Erie it will be filtered with middle of the lake events amongst East Lake Erie events. That will also make the water muddy.

As far as top level majors, I would just ask the pros who they think is numbered one based on the 'oh crap, he's fishing this event' rationale and I would guess KVD would win fairly easily. He's kicked butt in B.A.S.S and FLW and even Spain in their big national tournament. No one else is even close but there are a whole bunch of guys underneath that fish one or the other or even mostly just the West Coast.

If the people running that website really want some traffic, they need to allow discussion of their decisions, no just comments. It will get crazy at times but it would drive a lot of traffic because people like to 'debate' about sports rankings. They ought to add a West Coast ranking too. They have their own world out there with some big names hardly known elsewhere.

I didn't read how they take into effect events that have more or less entries than other events at the same 'level.'

Dan,
There's not a lack of passion on my part
It's more of a lack of funds and talant (but I'm getting better. LOL)

Glen is a great guy (from GA) and a Brother in the Lord, he called me a few years ago, when he was coming to Erie (for his first time) to pre-fish the FLW event.  I was on the waiting list as a non-boater, so I took a few days off and pre-fished with him.  It was a great time, and he finished 16th in that event.  Obviously he has continued to do well up here.

Always fun to fish with a friend.
